I have some lovely beachfront property I'd like to sell you in Sacramento (http://flood.firetree.net/?ll=38.3201,-121.5610&z=8&m=1&t=0). No? How about Cambridge (http://flood.firetree.net/?ll=52.0069,0.4312&z=9&m=3&t=0)? Tianjin (http://flood.firetree.net/?ll=38.9765,117.6086&z=8&m=4), perhaps?

You'd better make up your mind soon, because the following popular spots are filling up. With water, I mean -- not tourists.

South Florida and the Bahamas (http://flood.firetree.net/?ll=25.8790,-79.5795&z=9&m=0&t=0)
Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire (http://flood.firetree.net/?ll=5.2790,-3.9527&z=4&m=0)
Calcutta, India (http://flood.firetree.net/?ll=22.2510,89.0002&z=8&m=4)
Shanghai, China (http://flood.firetree.net/?ll=31.3724,121.4978&z=8&m=4)
Nagoya, Japan (http://flood.firetree.net/?ll=35.0446,136.9405&z=7&m=5)
The entire island nation of Tuvalu (http://flood.firetree.net/?ll=-8.6679,179.2392&z=8&m=1)

You can use this nifty little tool, based on Google Maps, to discover how various sea levels could impact coastal areas. The level of flooding is reflected by the amount of blue overlay: scattered blue speckles means minor flooding, while a solid blue layer means the area is underwater. It's morbidly fascinating...

I fully support the flooding of Cambridge :p

very interesting... http://flood.firetree.net/?ll=50.9323,-1.3846&z=5&m=4

my own house remains ok up to 14 meters... not bad considering my city is on an esturary and the crossing of 3 rivers :p


edit: it's actually pretty terrifying :-S

Bugger, I'll be 7m underwater. :eek:

Edit: So will the MCG! :eek: They'll have to play footy & cricket underwater. :(

Just imagine all the mud! :D

i go away and came back to find that i now live in the sea :eek:

I for one welcome this new safer inland port as an aid to both the shipping of goods and to vessels threatened by Pacific storms. Bravo global warming and well done.

It's telling me that I can't zoom in on Wellington, even though both google earth+maps go right up close.

I live as far away from the sea as you can get in Britain.

Anyone got a submarine they are not using? :eek:
